Heeeey everyone!!
So that special time in every rotation has come where we leave one another after multiple hugs and promises of late night texting.
My billet situation is quite interesting this time 'round as I actually switch houses again either tomorrow or they day after.
My real billet family, a young married couple, are out of town currently visiting family and so while they're gone I'm staying with my billet dad's brother in his apartment and I have his roomate's room while he is away with my real billet family.
He's been speaking copious amounts of French to me, and has been nothing but nice and invited me to go to a 9am hike with him and his girlfriend this morning, however, upon sleeping in an actual bed and only really going to sleep at 2am, as well as the fact that I slightly distain any type of physical activity, and the fact that it's a Saturday, 1 out of 2 days out of 7 I can actually sleep in , I declined his offer. Instead I slept in until 11, ate, and then he drove me to the mall to hangout with Sara. <3 Afterwards I got back to the billet apartment via bus I've never taken before, to an apartment I'd seen from the outside once, via very quick brief verbal directions, so I was pretttty impressed with myself.
Sleeping in a real bed is always so pleasant compared to a Katima plasticsized matress barely supported in the modest creaky bunk bed frame. The lob sided pillow and the window that lets in too much light is not comfortable, but it is definetely Katima-home. HOWEVER, everyone I'm sure was glad to leave the house this weekend as it always seems that just as billet time rolls around that everyone is on their last string of good behaviour, on their last nice comment before they snap. BUT Katimavik is all about conflict resolution and learning to live with one another, but this doesn't mean that I would mind having a realitivly quiet, drama, stress free Katima life sometimes, so therefore I am extremely grateful for the quiet and aloneness I've been provided.
I am really excited to meet my real billet family, Steph said I'd absolutely love them and I'm sure I will. On the little schedule that was written for me tomorrow (with a packed agenda such as watching him play soccer) it says that my real billet family comes home at about 9 or 10 tomorrow so I'm just waiting to see if I'll sleep here or in my new billet home tomorrow night.
Anyhow, sorry I haven't had much to post with lately! Things are quite dull except for the drama, and none of you would really like to be plagued with such things, so I will update again once something interesting happens!
Thanks for reading!! Xoxoxox
